Answer :

Answer:

  3

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the slope of the line that passes through the points (4,7) and (7,16).

Slope

The slope of the line through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the slope formula:

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

Application

Using the given point coordinates, we find the slope to be ...

  m = (16 -7)/(7 -4) = 9/3 = 3

The slope of the line is 3.
